Plus it is smarter to put them on in T2 because:
a. The socks would pick up debris that would likely be on them for the rest of the race.
b. It would likely be more difficult to slip your bike shoes on while on the go on your bike.
- Not wearing socks on the bike allows your feet to get dry from the swim and remain dry for longer.
- It is much faster to get through T1 without wearing your bike shoes. Therefore if one puts on socks for the bike then they would be wearing their socks through T1. This would cause at least 2 problems as I see it.
a. The socks would pick up debris that would likely be on them for the rest of the race.
